Can anyone recommend a drill? I only need one for this installation & don't won't to spend a lot of money if not necessary.

I picked up one of the basic Sears Craftsman drills for around $30 as they constantly go on special. Handy to have around!

If you can't borrow one, check out your local swap meet or pawn shop. We had to drill into masonry, but if you don't need to any basic drill should do.

I got mine from my dad as a gift. You can rent them from Home Depot if you have one close by.

Seems a bit much for computer repairs only. I would think you would want something smaller and lighter. It would be safe as you can set the clutch so you wouldn't be stripping out screws. That said this is a great all around drill/driver that I use everyday and all day for installing blinds and drapes. I've driven screws from a 1/2" #4 to a 4" #12 without a problem. If it's as tough as previous versions this will last for years.

Use a dewalt just make sure that it doesn't over heat if you are drilling a lot of holes

Use a good drill bit and don't push it and it''l work fine. Use some oil on the hole if larger than ~1/4 inch. Otherwise it is a continuous duty type motor that I have drilled a series of holes over a period of time and driven dozens of screws in short order. Doesn't heat up and keeps a good charge.

I would reccomend a hammerdrill instead. It is intended for drilling in concrete. They are usually function as a regular and hammer drill.One like this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0008ELQ0G/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1376105960&sr;=8-1π=SL75

We ordered two and I am going to drill as well. I don't think it should be a problem. The look amazing and they are so light weight!

Go down to your local hardware store and tell them what you are trying to do - they will point you towards the right hardware. Briefly, you're going to want a HSS (high speed steel) or a titanium carbon-coated drill bit and the right screws. Make sure you're not exceeding weight specs (for the mount OR your wall)

Super easy to install. You just need your drill and all the parts came with it.

Use the hammer drill. Start with a bit one size smaller than what you need.

All I can say is that I do not use this for drilling, I only use it as a screw driver. I would contact DeWalt and ask them any questions you may have such as if it is possible to use it for that purpose.

Ive had them uninstalled for months. Depending on how much room you have to get a drill in there it shouldn't be too hard. An angled drill would be great, as that will be my approach. I just haven't had the time.

Thanks, I'll definitely drill a starter. It's going behind a TV mount and will have a faceplate over it so not concerned about a rough cut.

I'm sorry I can not help you much.I purchased this drill for my Father.He wanted it for both purposes if he needed it.However I'm not sure if he ever used it for either?It's a nice looking heavy feeling drill.I showed him how it worked and it worked is all I can say.For the price and for what he may or may not need,it's a great purchase.

Like I said before, I would recommend a drill. It was really difficult when I tried using a screw driver at first. You don't need anything fancy, though. Mine was just a little chargeable mini drill.

If you need to purchase batteries, you might as well purchase the Dewalt 20v cordless drill with 2 batteries and charger included at Home Depot for $99. That's less that what you will find for the batteries alone in most locations, plus you get the drill. It's a great deal.

as a garage door installer we use the "impact" drill as it has more torque. a drill would suffice for a homeowner

The one I purchased was a gift for my grandson. My son assembled it with no problem and he did not need a drill. I suggest you call the manufacturer as it sounds like something might be amiss.
